12:16 - Sales Strategies and Decision Making

19:35 - Mastering Sales and Premium Service

WEBVTT

00:00:00.201 --> 00:00:08.788
We're here to help you guys, electricpreneurs all over the planet master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver consistent, premium level service.

00:00:08.788 --> 00:00:16.922
Today we want to talk about overcoming logical thinking to get to that decision, and there's a few ways that we can dissect this and look at this.

00:00:16.922 --> 00:00:19.809
So next 15 minutes, that's what we're going to do.

00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:20.611
Let's break it apart.

00:00:20.611 --> 00:00:25.817
So why do you think that some people get kind of stuck in that logical mindset?

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:32.843
first off, I mean there's people, and then there's also us electricians, because we're probably the worst culprit of this.

00:00:32.843 --> 00:00:39.588
When we get stuck in this logical mindset, it's because we focus everything on the troubleshooting.

00:00:39.588 --> 00:00:40.491
The wire runs.

00:00:40.491 --> 00:00:47.212
If we just do one here to here, we'll solve the problem, right yeah, but we lean so much into the technical, we skip over the emotional.

00:00:49.621 --> 00:00:50.405
Yeah, totally.

00:00:50.405 --> 00:00:52.759
And why is that emotional so important in a sale?

00:00:53.862 --> 00:00:56.408
Because, primarily, people don't buy.

00:00:56.408 --> 00:01:00.139
Logically, we buy to solve emotional pain points.

00:01:00.139 --> 00:01:04.569
We're either trying to run towards pleasure or trying to run from pain.

00:01:04.569 --> 00:01:06.513
It's one or the other usually.

00:01:06.513 --> 00:01:14.814
So, if you think about it, when the customer calls you because they're trying to get a ceiling fan installed, we look at it like, oh, they just want a fan.

00:01:14.814 --> 00:01:23.245
But the emotional pain point is I can't sleep at night because I just hate how stale this room is feeling and I just want to get a good night's sleep.

00:01:23.245 --> 00:01:25.796
So what do you think of me?

00:01:25.796 --> 00:01:30.331
Better if you were able to know what problem you're trying to solve so you can position your solutions to solve that problem.

00:01:31.739 --> 00:01:33.304
Definitely, definitely.

00:01:33.304 --> 00:01:42.132
I've heard people say this before, so this concept of buy rationally, sell irrationally really speaks to that then I can see that that would make sense.

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:52.944
Now, at the same time, I think it's important to note that we are on the level of premium service and the sales process is very necessary, as we discussed in the live yesterday, but it's also not to trick people.

00:01:52.944 --> 00:01:55.870
This isn't about being unethical.

00:01:55.870 --> 00:02:01.724
In fact, you got to promise not to use this stuff for evil and you have to kind of lead yourself with those ethics.

00:02:01.724 --> 00:02:02.507
Would you agree with that?

00:02:03.132 --> 00:02:06.103
Yeah, if I could touch on that for a moment, please do so.

00:02:06.103 --> 00:02:12.164
The thing is, I remember when I first started off in the trades, I was told I remember I was pulled over.

00:02:12.164 --> 00:02:19.031
I was on a new construction job site and my boss pointed to the sales guy and he was wearing a suit and he's like you don't trust that fucking dude.

00:02:19.031 --> 00:02:21.070
He's like you do not trust them.

00:02:21.070 --> 00:02:22.418
It's like salespeople you don't trust sales.

00:02:22.418 --> 00:02:23.681
He'll just do anything to get a commission.

00:02:23.681 --> 00:02:31.906
And most of us had that similar experience where we were told that sales is something you do to someone.

00:02:33.027 --> 00:02:39.264
My concept and I believe that you share this endeavor as well is that sales is something you do for someone.

00:02:39.264 --> 00:02:49.713
We are simply a conduit that takes you from a problem to a solution, and it's up to us to determine if we're not the ones that get the job.

00:02:49.713 --> 00:02:51.318
Who does?

00:02:51.318 --> 00:02:53.639
Is it someone more qualified?

00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.264
Probably not.

00:02:55.264 --> 00:02:59.418
It's usually someone with a cheaper price, and is the cheaper usually the best?

00:02:59.418 --> 00:03:01.844
No, no.

00:03:01.844 --> 00:03:14.314
So as a result, what ends up happening is we need to get better in order to serve better, and when we serve better now, the sales start repeating themselves because we're a safe bet.

00:03:14.314 --> 00:03:16.019
Why wouldn't they want to go with us?

00:03:17.282 --> 00:03:17.622
Makes sense.

00:03:17.622 --> 00:03:19.796
Totally so.

00:03:19.796 --> 00:03:22.548
You're also suggesting that building, trust, upfront building.

00:03:22.548 --> 00:03:24.335
That rapport would be a big piece of this then too.

00:03:25.198 --> 00:03:26.122
It's absolutely essential.

00:03:26.122 --> 00:03:29.682
People will not buy from you unless they like, trust and respect you.

00:03:29.682 --> 00:03:31.227
I mean, think about it.

00:03:31.227 --> 00:03:34.844
Imagine you go to your friend's house and a friend wanted to wire something for you.

00:03:34.844 --> 00:03:38.824
Or let's say, for some reason you were in an electrician play and you needed help with something.

00:03:38.824 --> 00:03:43.364
If your friend came by and said you know, clay, listen, this is not a.

00:03:43.364 --> 00:03:45.168
I didn't expect to run into this.

00:03:45.168 --> 00:03:51.288
I know you wanted just a ceiling fan, but I opened up your ceiling and I noticed that you still have aluminum wiring running throughout your house.

00:03:51.288 --> 00:03:54.003
It's going to be a pretty significant project that resolved.

00:03:54.003 --> 00:03:59.625
You'd have to trust that person pretty significantly before you move forward on it, right?

00:03:59.625 --> 00:04:00.626
I think so.

00:04:00.626 --> 00:04:09.024
Yeah, if I was just some guy that you craigslisted and he came by and was like, oh, this is going to be a big project You're going to have to get out of here, of course.

00:04:09.024 --> 00:04:11.987
So that's why they need to like and trust you.

00:04:13.153 --> 00:04:16.521
Right, and just a little plug for our process here.

00:04:16.521 --> 00:04:37.552
But we've been talking about these commitments today and I feel like if we're founded on this trust, then does it also make sense that, following our eight commitment process and, as you said earlier, there's some science behind actually qualifying people to get to that point where they'll trust you enough, but also be able to make that decision today?

00:04:38.673 --> 00:04:38.954
Correct.

00:04:38.954 --> 00:04:41.017
Yeah, I've always found that there's actually.

00:04:41.017 --> 00:04:43.903
Do you mind if I touch on the reasoning why we like the commitments the way we did?

00:04:43.903 --> 00:04:44.586
Of course, okay.

00:04:44.586 --> 00:04:55.067
So there was an example that came up during the polling center and what ended up happening was they wanted to test and see how they could get people to vote more consistently.

00:04:55.067 --> 00:05:00.326
Now in the States it's sometimes hard and we have this great right to vote, but very few people actually use it.

00:05:00.326 --> 00:05:04.862
So what ended up happening was they the polling center.

00:05:04.862 --> 00:05:07.848
We started calling people in their demographic.

00:05:07.848 --> 00:05:09.720
They said calling a democratic party.

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.663
We're going to figure out what it is.

00:05:10.663 --> 00:05:15.105
And they would call and say hey, I want to just let you know that we're having the polling open.

00:05:15.105 --> 00:05:19.334
It's going to be open across the street and this out of town and it's going to be at this time.

00:05:19.334 --> 00:05:20.600
Are you going to be able to come?

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.278
Everyone by knee.

00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:23.259
Jerk would be like oh yeah.

00:05:23.259 --> 00:05:24.463
Yeah, we're going to be there, no problem.

00:05:24.463 --> 00:05:29.120
That only gave them a 35% chance of them actually leaving their house and going.

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:29.880
Wow.

00:05:29.901 --> 00:05:30.762
That's not enough, right?

00:05:30.762 --> 00:05:32.185
35?

00:05:32.185 --> 00:05:32.886
Not quite yeah.

00:05:33.567 --> 00:05:34.387
Yeah, not going to do enough.

00:05:34.387 --> 00:05:37.358
So what happened is they followed it up with.

00:05:37.358 --> 00:05:44.444
A second question was this is a very important election and I just want to make sure that we're doing everything on our power to make sure this happens.

00:05:44.444 --> 00:05:53.685
So we actually providing a car service where we can physically come and pick you up, and would you like us to send a car, or do you feel like you'll be able to make it at that point?

00:05:53.685 --> 00:05:55.279
They've already committed once.

00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.444
They're not going to be like, oh, yeah, I can't, because if they did, they'd be like oh, we'll send you the car.

00:06:00.334 --> 00:06:01.920
Now they took away their biggest excuse not to go.

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.264
The person was like yes, no, I'll make it.

00:06:05.264 --> 00:06:08.259
I promise I'm going to be there, don't worry about you, don't have to send a car, I got transportation.

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:11.559
You went by getting the second commitment.

00:06:11.559 --> 00:06:21.314
You went from having a 35% chance of getting to leave their house to an 80% chance to get them to leave their house because they gave what's known as a free volition commitment.

00:06:21.314 --> 00:06:22.901
It's a free willed commitment.

00:06:22.901 --> 00:06:24.519
There was no gun to their head.

00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.904
They willingly said no, I will come and go, don't worry.

00:06:28.904 --> 00:06:30.278
And they did it twice.

00:06:30.278 --> 00:06:35.581
So what do you think is the benefit of doing that on a sales call or on an opportunity call or demand call.

00:06:35.581 --> 00:06:38.021
Do you think you can possibly use those commitments or the same advantage?

00:06:39.427 --> 00:06:43.911
I think so, and that's what a process aims to answer, but to go a little deeper with that.

00:06:43.911 --> 00:06:51.065
Of course that's a plug again, but ultimately, like what happens then if I don't follow, if I've made that commitment twice?

00:06:51.065 --> 00:06:55.836
I'm just logicking through this myself, going through my own emotional journey with it.

00:06:55.836 --> 00:07:00.454
I feel like if I don't follow through, my integrity is at stake.

00:07:00.454 --> 00:07:08.952
Now there's an emotional commitment, a tie to this now where I could actually be upset with myself if I don't show up for that decision.

00:07:09.745 --> 00:07:11.329
I've got a great example of that, if you're welcome to it.

00:07:11.531 --> 00:07:11.831
Perfect.

00:07:13.225 --> 00:07:17.055
So for all the married people out there, let's use this example.

00:07:17.055 --> 00:07:27.788
So let's say, your spouse comes to you today and says you know, listen, the lawns really get overgrown and I'm thinking we're probably going to need to call a landscaper because there's just a lot going on with it.

00:07:27.788 --> 00:07:34.432
And I want to know before we do that do you think you're going to be able to mow the lawn this weekend, babe?

00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:35.374
Of course I'll take care of it.

00:07:35.374 --> 00:07:35.875
I'll take care of it.

00:07:35.875 --> 00:07:36.375
Don't worry about it.

00:07:36.375 --> 00:07:37.877
Are you sure?

00:07:38.158 --> 00:07:39.459
I know how busy you are.

00:07:39.459 --> 00:07:40.601
I know that things can come up.

00:07:40.601 --> 00:07:41.624
I know you're running a business.

00:07:41.624 --> 00:07:42.584
You've got to be sure you're taking care of it.

00:07:42.584 --> 00:07:44.588
Are you sure you don't want me to just call a landscaper?

00:07:44.588 --> 00:07:46.009
I'm sure, babe, I'm a couple hundred dollars.

00:07:46.009 --> 00:07:46.790
I'll get it taken care of.

00:07:46.790 --> 00:07:48.894
No, babe, I'm going to get done.

00:07:48.894 --> 00:07:50.877
I promise I don't have to worry about it.

00:07:50.877 --> 00:07:51.579
I'll handle it.

00:07:51.579 --> 00:07:54.144
We've got the lawn mower of everything.

00:07:54.144 --> 00:08:00.997
When Saturday comes, do you have any doubt in your mind that it doesn't matter what happens?

00:08:00.997 --> 00:08:03.372
You're going to get that one done Better.

00:08:04.196 --> 00:08:04.437
Why?

00:08:04.437 --> 00:08:06.264
Because you're going to get it done.

00:08:06.264 --> 00:08:21.408
Otherwise, big let down for me and her Correct Because your spouse is going to tell you one thing they already gave you the way out and you declined the way out, and now that you're there, you made a public affirmation that you're going to get this done.

00:08:21.408 --> 00:08:31.434
So if you don't get it done, it does affect your integrity, and now you have to have a really significant, a pretty significant excuse to not do it at this point.

00:08:31.434 --> 00:08:39.230
Right, definitely, yeah, and that's something that's applied to every single call we go to, and it's not something to trick anyone.

00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:43.894
As we said, this is meant to make their lives better and more seamless.

00:08:43.894 --> 00:08:50.169
The more commitments you get on a project, the more likely it is that you'll be able to better hand the objections at the end of the call.

00:08:51.032 --> 00:08:52.535
Right, Definitely.

00:08:52.535 --> 00:09:00.929
And something that you keep saying take a line out of your book is objections aren't really meant to be handled, they're meant to be eliminated.

00:09:01.852 --> 00:09:02.153
Correct.

00:09:02.153 --> 00:09:08.890
A lot of times this happens all the time actually because people will call us and be like how do I close?

00:09:08.890 --> 00:09:10.635
Better, Joe, what do I got to do?

00:09:10.635 --> 00:09:12.530
They'll ask for the silver bullets for their gun.

00:09:12.530 --> 00:09:17.255
What magic trick can you pull out of your hat so I can start closing more jobs?

00:09:17.255 --> 00:09:20.253
And I tell them there isn't a magic trick.

00:09:20.253 --> 00:09:30.094
If you can approach an objection that you think the customer is going to give you before they bring it up, you can handle it before you give them the prices.

00:09:30.094 --> 00:09:34.855
The moment you hand someone your price, you've given them the control of the call.

00:09:34.855 --> 00:09:53.951
So what our process does is establishes all those commitment opportunities prior to giving the price, so that when you say I'm going to give you a number, you know when they're going to do it, who needs to be involved, why they need to do it now, who they normally call, what will happen if they don't do it.

00:09:53.951 --> 00:09:57.821
And you think if they had all that information, it'd be hard to stump you.

00:09:58.946 --> 00:10:09.471
Well, much harder for sure, Correct, yeah, and tying that's all back now full circle to the topic really was overcoming the logical thinking to get the decision today.

00:10:09.471 --> 00:10:12.712
But in essence we've done exactly what we just said.

00:10:12.712 --> 00:10:22.164
Now we've kind of eliminated a lot of that the logical problems you'll run into later just by having those commitments and by having that connection and by scripting that process.

00:10:22.164 --> 00:10:26.004
Of course it's only going to improve as you use it.

00:10:26.846 --> 00:10:27.187
Correct.

00:10:27.187 --> 00:10:28.892
It needs to be consistent.

00:10:28.892 --> 00:10:31.618
If it's not consistent, it's not going to work.

00:10:31.618 --> 00:10:34.325
You need to be able to do it to a point where it's just muscle memory.

00:10:34.325 --> 00:10:45.160
That way, when you meet with the customers, you can gear yourself to perform the best level of service, solve emotional pain points and deliver true premium level servers.

00:10:46.106 --> 00:10:47.028
Love that, love that.

00:10:47.028 --> 00:10:47.490
Okay.

00:10:47.490 --> 00:10:50.456
So let's hit the runway then and actually give them something.

00:10:50.456 --> 00:10:53.725
So say that all the elimination efforts didn't quite line up.

00:10:53.725 --> 00:11:01.605
Okay, you do get to this logical moment and you're at a point and you have presented prices and this person just wants to sleep on it.

00:11:01.605 --> 00:11:06.158
Would you mind emailing that over and giving us a couple of days?

00:11:07.609 --> 00:11:07.809
Sure.

00:11:07.809 --> 00:11:12.445
So I'd want to know a little bit more about the call as a whole, but let's just say in a vacuum, just so I understand it correctly.

00:11:12.445 --> 00:11:15.475
We've gone through every one of our questions.

00:11:15.475 --> 00:11:24.359
They've answered everything correctly, we've given them the number we thought they were a great fit, they were ready to do it today, and now they're saying you know, we really just need to sleep on it.

00:11:24.359 --> 00:11:29.897
Right, there's things that you can do to position them to want to move forward immediately.

00:11:29.897 --> 00:11:33.365
But you've got to take it with a grain of salt, because every call is going to be a little bit different.

00:11:35.187 --> 00:11:41.345
But if you were going to say what could we do without knowing the situation, I'd first say, okay, I can understand, this is a big decision.

00:11:41.345 --> 00:11:42.155
But can I ask you a question?

00:11:42.155 --> 00:11:48.160
Is it safe to say that, since I've provided you six different choices, this top one's definitely out?

00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:48.883
Like we're not going to do that one?

00:11:48.883 --> 00:11:49.644
That's completely out of line.

00:11:49.644 --> 00:11:52.500
Well, yeah, yeah, we can't do that one.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.284
All right, let's get rid of that choice.

00:11:53.284 --> 00:11:55.913
What about?

00:11:55.913 --> 00:11:57.678
Let's take a look at some of the other options?

00:11:57.678 --> 00:11:58.481
Take a look at the economy.

00:11:58.481 --> 00:11:59.485
What are your thoughts on that?

00:11:59.485 --> 00:12:01.895
I was low but I missed a couple of things.

00:12:01.895 --> 00:12:02.437
Sorry, talk over it.

00:12:02.437 --> 00:12:03.804
I tried to jump in and role play with you.

00:12:04.586 --> 00:12:07.522
It was low, it was my favorite price, but it's missing a couple of things for us.

00:12:07.522 --> 00:12:08.908
Okay.

00:12:08.927 --> 00:12:11.576
so would it be safe to say we should get rid of that one as well.

00:12:11.576 --> 00:12:13.202
I think so, yeah, okay, so let's eliminate that one as well.

00:12:13.202 --> 00:12:18.419
So now we've narrowed it down to four choices.

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:19.684
Take a look and tell me what you think is the best fit for you.

00:12:22.750 --> 00:12:23.552
Yeah, okay.

00:12:23.552 --> 00:12:25.897
Well, there's really kind of two.

00:12:25.897 --> 00:12:32.774
I think that we're thinking between but again, Joe, so I'm just thinking maybe a little time to sleep on it would be helpful, Okay, so which two choices are you?

00:12:33.437 --> 00:12:35.913
stuck between Well, you've got all these.

00:12:35.913 --> 00:12:38.524
Four were between silver and gold.

00:12:38.543 --> 00:12:40.371
I think, Okay, those are great choices.

00:12:40.371 --> 00:12:41.639
What did you like about those?

00:12:42.625 --> 00:12:47.000
Specifically XYZ with gold, but maybe we don't need that with silver Again, guys we're very general here.

00:12:49.284 --> 00:12:50.607
Well, there's a way to solve that.

00:12:50.628 --> 00:12:55.578
So if the customer gives you between one of two choices like this will happen where they're.

00:12:55.578 --> 00:12:58.004
Like you know, I don't really know which way I want to go.

00:12:58.004 --> 00:13:03.976
I could go gold, I could go silver.

00:13:03.976 --> 00:13:06.100
I guess got to sleep on it, figure out which one I want to do.

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:16.001
So the question I want to ask is okay, just so I understand the full scope of the situation Is it that you want to do one of the other and you're not sure which to do, or is it that you're not sure if you want to do the project at all with us?

00:13:16.001 --> 00:13:25.725
That's a good answer to have right, because if they're saying I'm not sure if I want to use you, that's a different kind of way to do it.

00:13:25.725 --> 00:13:31.778
If I want to use you, that's a different kind of objection compared to I don't know which of these two I want to do.

00:13:31.778 --> 00:13:35.889
So if it's, let's say I'll handle both.

00:13:35.889 --> 00:13:43.149
If the first one is I'm not sure which of the two you want to do, I would say that's completely understandable and you're right, there's a lot of different benefits.

00:13:43.149 --> 00:13:43.892
That's going to be included.

00:13:43.892 --> 00:13:48.452
So let's eliminate the four choices you don't like and let's narrow it just down to the gold and silver.

00:13:48.452 --> 00:13:54.332
This is what I'd recommend If you're certain that you want to do one of the two, but you're not sure which.

00:13:55.053 --> 00:13:59.210
I suggest we go for the silver, which is the more economically what we can do.

00:13:59.210 --> 00:13:59.812
Is it?

00:13:59.812 --> 00:14:01.219
Allow us to start the project?

00:14:01.219 --> 00:14:02.684
We can get a date on the calendar.

00:14:02.684 --> 00:14:04.870
We can get all your financing in place.

00:14:04.870 --> 00:14:12.238
I could order all the material that's necessary, get you a date on the calendar to make this happen and you'll have all that time to decide whether you want to upgrade.

00:14:12.238 --> 00:14:16.076
What I'll also do is day of the installation.

00:14:16.076 --> 00:14:24.139
I'll check with you to make sure that if you did want to upgrade, you had the availability to do so at 0%, so we won't even charge you an upgrade if that was necessary.

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:26.854
So if I were able to do that, what would happen then?

00:14:28.932 --> 00:14:29.764
Then we'd be compelled to make a deal.

00:14:31.028 --> 00:14:31.288
Okay.

00:14:31.288 --> 00:14:42.708
On the other side, if the customer says I'm not sure if I really want to use you, well, that's a big statement to have, because they've gone through all eight commitments and now they're saying they're not sure.

00:14:42.708 --> 00:14:44.245
That's now.

00:14:44.245 --> 00:14:46.552
Instead of pushing, now we're going to pull.

00:14:46.552 --> 00:14:51.672
Our service needs to become scarce, otherwise it loses its value.

00:14:51.672 --> 00:15:01.534
So, being able to approach the customer and say well, I would love to help you with this and I really do appreciate your honesty the last thing I ever want to feel like I'm doing is forcing you to one decision to the other.

00:15:01.534 --> 00:15:06.174
So, if you don't mind me asking, why did you want to do this project in the first place?

00:15:06.174 --> 00:15:08.812
Why don't we just not do it at all?

00:15:08.812 --> 00:15:13.355
I mean, realistically, what's the negative of just not having that panel upgraded?

00:15:14.445 --> 00:15:20.232
I love that question because it kind of puts them in a self-ultimatum Are we doing this?

00:15:20.232 --> 00:15:21.028
Wait?

00:15:21.028 --> 00:15:22.192
No, we're really committed.

00:15:22.192 --> 00:15:25.654
I think our example from our assessor earlier was a hot tub on the same topic.

00:15:25.654 --> 00:15:30.436
Well, no, hang on, I do want the hot tub, I just don't want the service upgrade.

00:15:30.436 --> 00:15:31.725
I know.

00:15:31.985 --> 00:15:33.331
It's like how many times you go to a call.

00:15:33.331 --> 00:15:39.729
You got a 100 amp or you got a 60 amp AFray meter and they're like I just bought a 90 amp hot tub, you can hook this up, right.

00:15:39.729 --> 00:15:43.509
It's like, yes, we most certainly can, I'd be happy to help you with that.

00:15:43.509 --> 00:15:49.611
But when they didn't factor for it, you'd say, okay, well, sake of argument, what would happen if we just didn't do the hot tub?

00:15:49.611 --> 00:15:51.291
Well, I already bought the hot tub.

00:15:51.291 --> 00:15:52.850
Well, could you return it?

00:15:52.850 --> 00:15:59.114
I don't want to return it, okay, well, I'd love to help you and I'm committed to sticking that with you.

00:15:59.114 --> 00:16:03.232
But if you don't mind me asking, do you want me to proceed doing this in an unsafe fashion?

00:16:03.232 --> 00:16:06.910
Is there electricity and water?

00:16:06.910 --> 00:16:08.148
Do you think that's something we should compromise?

00:16:09.511 --> 00:16:09.631
No.

00:16:10.534 --> 00:16:13.533
All right, so let's take another look at these options again and see how would you like to proceed.

00:16:15.327 --> 00:16:16.871
Yeah, exactly, great example.

00:16:16.871 --> 00:16:17.653
Great example.

00:16:17.653 --> 00:16:21.115
And we are running out of time on this one because these are just short guys.

00:16:21.115 --> 00:16:22.812
We want to be able to show up every day for you.

00:16:22.812 --> 00:16:23.849
It's just like that.

00:16:23.849 --> 00:16:27.995
That was a little tidbit on overcoming logical thinking to get the decision today.

00:16:27.995 --> 00:16:44.798
There's obviously so much more training that goes into this and eliminating those objections in the first place and controlling that sales process from the beginning to the end to ensure that you're able to help people reach their ultimate great result, the thing that they want.

00:16:45.245 --> 00:17:00.769
I don't know if you noticed, but Joseph, earlier he did not go for the throat, he said let's start you at silver then and you'll have this time to think about that upgrade some more, so still giving them what they want, achieving the lesser amount, but also leaving the door open to then upgrade.

00:17:00.769 --> 00:17:15.575
And I can tell you guys, as a curious factor curiosity stake here that in the install process there's also another way to take another crack at that and make sure that they're not quite into the goal and they want to stay with silver.

00:17:15.575 --> 00:17:18.713
So there's going to be other touch points in that process as well.

00:17:20.028 --> 00:17:20.950
If you don't mind.

00:17:20.950 --> 00:17:22.074
Do you mind if I add something to it?

00:17:22.074 --> 00:17:22.555
Yeah go ahead.

00:17:22.555 --> 00:17:31.974
I was going to say I love that you picked up that we wanted to just start with silver, but there's a specific reason why we wanted to go for the more economical one than the more premium one.

00:17:31.974 --> 00:17:32.896
All right, Any idea why that is?

00:17:33.845 --> 00:17:34.508
No, sir, go for it.

00:17:35.525 --> 00:17:47.416
So the main reason why is because if we were to do the reverse, let's say we insisted that they go for the more premium option where are we now positioned ourselves as Sales again.

00:17:48.306 --> 00:17:49.852
We're sales guys again, so obvious.

00:17:50.285 --> 00:17:53.311
Because what motivation would the customer think for us to want to get the bigger picture?

00:17:53.311 --> 00:18:08.218
They think we're looking for the money, but by saying let's go economy, it leaves them in one of two choices Either yes, I agree that's a good choice, or no, I like the gold.

00:18:08.218 --> 00:18:12.804
And now, if you like the gold, well, okay, tell me.

00:18:12.804 --> 00:18:13.686
What do you like about the gold?

00:18:13.686 --> 00:18:15.586
What makes it so much better that you don't want to go silver?

00:18:15.586 --> 00:18:17.987
You see, I went with leaning for them to go silver.

00:18:17.987 --> 00:18:18.340
I'm like.

00:18:18.340 --> 00:18:19.747
Well, what makes it so much better than the silver?

00:18:19.747 --> 00:18:20.528
Why do you like that one?

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.428
Well, I like that one because it has extra years of warranty.

00:18:23.428 --> 00:18:25.928
It looks like it's got the whole home electronic safety system.

00:18:25.928 --> 00:18:30.686
It looks like you're also doing a renovation of the system rather than just doing a rebuild.

00:18:30.686 --> 00:18:32.845
Okay, well, that's a great choice.

00:18:32.845 --> 00:18:34.064
So how would you like to proceed?

00:18:34.064 --> 00:18:35.742
Yeah, let's just do gold.

00:18:35.742 --> 00:18:43.969
So, if anything, by me pulling it away and asking questions, I'm able to position myself to either get the silver or the gold.

00:18:43.969 --> 00:18:47.285
But if I get either one of them, it's entirely a customer choice.

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:49.124
Yeah, I love that.

00:18:49.124 --> 00:18:49.801
I love that.

00:18:49.801 --> 00:18:53.305
Guys, we always want to leave you with some actions to improve your process.

00:18:53.305 --> 00:19:07.746
So ask yourself, knowing this little bit of tidbit, that superpower that Joseph mentioned about the commitments and that being able to improve your sales conversions by 80%, how many commitments do you have in your process?

00:19:07.746 --> 00:19:11.023
Are you getting them?

00:19:11.023 --> 00:19:17.665
Two commitments before you're asking for the grand one, which ultimately is to pick an option and have a sale?

00:19:17.665 --> 00:19:22.083
All right, anything else, joseph?

00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:25.568
No, I mean, realistically, I think we covered a good amount.

00:19:25.568 --> 00:19:33.748
I mean I only switched that these sessions were longer because I just want to start getting fired off of objections or I kind of want to dig into that call a little bit more.

00:19:33.748 --> 00:19:35.226
But I knew we're kind of limited on time.

00:19:35.226 --> 00:19:40.962
But, regardless, if there's anything you guys are going to take away from this, it's that one.

00:19:40.962 --> 00:19:44.824
We need to solve emotional pain points, not logical ones.

00:19:44.824 --> 00:19:49.865
The moment you get into a logical bubble, you're never going to be able to talk your way out of it or do your way out of it.

00:19:49.865 --> 00:19:51.224
You can only solve emotional pain.

00:19:51.224 --> 00:19:55.766
And the next is always gear for two commitments before you ask for the final sale.

00:19:55.766 --> 00:20:00.509
If you don't, you only have a 35% chance of getting it.

00:20:00.509 --> 00:20:04.823
Wouldn't it be worth asking just one more to more than double that ratio?

00:20:04.823 --> 00:20:07.169
Definitely.

00:20:07.169 --> 00:20:08.132
That's why I got to do that.

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:08.721
Definitely.

00:20:08.721 --> 00:20:13.865
